Reading Fostering Service is proud to announce the release of ‘The Run’, a short film which highlights the life-changing impact of fostering. Please join us for the premiere of the film on Thursday 9 October at midday.

Created collaboratively with over 90 other local authority fostering services The Run follows Tom, an 11-year-old boy whose urge to run tells two stories: one of escape – from danger, a turbulent home life, and the race to school for breakfast because he’s hungry – and one of discovery, as he finds purpose through sport.

With the support and stability of his foster family, Tom’s passion for running flourishes. The film reaches an emotional high as he competes in an athletics tournament, cheered on by his new family from the stands.

If the story moves you, we’d love to hear from you.
